Patent EP-0302727-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01G13/00
Filed: 1988-08-04
Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring the dielectric composition 
of articles, particularly articles such as blisterpacks 
and laminated boards. The apparatus comprises an 
amplifying circuit including a capacitor between the 
electrodes (1, 3) of which an article (22) is moved in 
use. The gain of the amplifying circuit varies with the 
capacitance of the capacitor so that the amplifying 
circuit provides an output signal, the peak value of the 
output signal varying with the dielectric constant of the 
article (22) between the capacitor electrodes (1, 3) . 
Typically the amplifying circuit includes an operational 
amplifier (9) the non-inverting input (10) of which is 
connected to a ground potential(6) and the inverting 
input (8) is connected to one electrode (3) of the 
capacitor. A feedback loop (11) is applied between the 
output (14) of the operational amplifier (9) and the 
inverting input (8) of the operational amplifier to force 
the inverting input to the same potential as the 
non-inverting input. Typically an oscillating signal 
source (5) is connected to the other electrode (1) of the 
capacitor.

Title: Alpha-amidating enzyme compositions and processes for their production and use
Inventor: GILLIGAN JAMES P
IPC: C12N11/00
Filed: 1988-08-12
Abstract: Purified enzymatic compositions are provided 
having alpha-amidating enzymes capable of catalyzing 
the conversion of a peptidyl compound having a 
C-terminal glycine residue to a corresponding peptidyl 
amide having an amino group in place of the C-terminal 
glycine. The purified compositions have specific 
activities above 25mU per mg protein and are 
sufficiently free of proteases to allow effective 
catalysis of even peptidyl compounds having L-amino 
acids. Biologically important alpha-amidated products 
such as calcitonin and other regulatory hormones are 
efficiently produced using the alpha-amidation reaction 
catalyzed by the enzymes. Purification by size 
exclusion chromatography in combination with strong 
anion exchange chromatography results in homogeneous 
enzyme species which are used to prepare antibodies 
specific for the alpha-amidating enzyme. A gene 
capable of expressing the alpha-amidating enzyme is 
ligated into an expression vector and transformed into 
a host cell capable of expressing the gene.
Patent EP-0306326-A3 (EP)
IPC: B24B41/06
Filed: 1988-09-02
Abstract: The workhead includes a spindle (4) disposed on 
a base member (5) and rotatable about a rotational axis. 
The spindle includes a chuck (52) for fixedly clamping one 
end of an elongated workpart (W), such as a valve lifter 
body, having a bore between opposite ends with the 
longitudinal axis of the bore substantially coaxial 
with the rotational axis. A fluid bearing (6) such as a 
hydrostatic bearing (170) is disposed on the base member (5) 
adjacent the other end of the workpart (W) for providing 
pressurized fluid at sufficient locations around the 
other end to resist machining forces tending to 
deflect the other end off axis relative to the 
fixedly clamped end during machining of the bore to 
improve bore roundness and straightness.
Patent EP-0321080-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1988-10-28
Abstract: The present invention concerns a solid modelling system comprising 
means for generating a spatial representation of an object defined by a 
structure 30, Fig. 4, having a plurality of linked nodes representing 
the object in terms of solid geometric primitives combined by a logical 
expression, which is adapted to recognise redundant primitives automati­
cally. In order to achieve this, bitmap generation logic (BGL) is 
provided for traversing at least certain of the nodes in the structure 
for generating a bitmap representing the part of the logical expression 
defined in the traversed nodes and redundant primitive logic (RPL) for 
testing the bitmap for logical redundancies indicative of redundant 
geometric primitives.  
     In a specific example of a solid modelling system described, each 
bit in the bitmap is representative of a respective one of the constit­
uents of the primitives, a constituent being the volume formed by the 
intersection of primitives or their complements, and, in order to test 
for the redundancy of a primitive u, the logic RPL tests for equivalence 
of the corresponding utrue and ufalse constituents in the bitmap. The 
logic BGL additionally generates a table 68 of pointers to the primi­
tives encountered during the traversal and the logic RPL deletes from 
the table 68 a pointer to a primitive which is found to be redundant. 
Node generation logic NGL is provided for replacing the nodes traversed 
by the first logic by a single truth table node which comprises the 
modified bitmap produced by the logic RPL and pointers to nodes defining 
the remaining primitives. Logic may also be provided for processing a 
relevance map indicative geometric information in combination with the 
bitmap.

Patent EP-0345608-A3 (EP)
Title: Data compression system and method with buffer control
IPC: H03M7/42
Filed: 1989-05-30
Abstract: A signal compression system is shown for 
processing a stream of fixed length digital sample 
signals, such as audio signals, which system includes a 
linear digital compression filter for compression 
filtering the sample signal stream and generating a 
stream of compression-filtered signals. The 
compression-filtered stream is encoded by an encoder 
which implements a variable word length truncated code. 
The encoder output is supplied to a buffer for 
transmission to a communication channel. The encoder is 
controllably operable in a normal mode and in an out of 
range (OOR) mode. In the OOR operating mode an OOR code 
word together with the compression filtered signal is 
sent to the buffer. Buffer underflow is controlled by 
operation in the OOR mode when the buffer is empty or 
near empty. Buffer overflow is controlled by truncating 
sample signals supplied to the compression filter in 
response to a measure of buffer fullness when the 
fullness of the buffer exceeds a predetermined level. 
The level of truncation increases as buffer fullness 
increases. With a decrease in buffer fullness, a 
measure of the rate of change of buffer fullness may 
be used to accelerate the decrease in truncation for 
improved audio signal quality. Additionally, a measure 
of variance of the compression-filtered signal stream 
may be used in conjunction with control based upon a 
measure of buffer fullness in the control of truncation 
for improved audio signal quality.

Title: Device for axially shifting rolls in the stand of a rolling mill
IPC: B21B31/18
Filed: 1989-06-09
Abstract: In the hitherto known devices, the axial shifting of rolls in the stand of a rolling mill is carried out on slideways, the sliding friction resistances of the hydraulic shifting machinery arranged externally on the roll stand which occur in the slideways having to be overcome by increased energy consumption. In addition, these roll-shifting devices are of complicated structure and are hard to get at and difficult to maintain owing to the pressure and lever elements which are arranged externally on the roll stand and project a long way outwards. According to the invention, these disadvantages are eliminated in a simple way by the fact that the inner bearing ring (5), fastened to the bearing journal (2) of the roll (1), of the radial bearing (3) in the form of a roller bearing is arranged so as to be axially moveable with respect to the outer bearing ring (7, 8) of the radial bearing (3), and that the shifting system is integrated in the axial bearing (4) as a hydraulic pressure system (16, 20, 22, 23).

Walzbandanhebevorrichtungen, die Bandabweiser, die 
Walzbandleittische, die Ausfahrschienen, 
Spritzeinrichtungen und dgl., die insbesondere im 
Bereich der Arbeitswalzen benötigt werden, im 
wesentlichen außen am Walzgerüst des Walzwerkes in 
voneinander getrennten Baueinheiten angebracht. Diese 
außen am Walzgerüst voneinander getrennt angeordneten 
Baueinheiten erfordern nicht nur einen zusätzlichen 
und verhältnismäßig großen Platzbedarf, sondern sie 
sind auch schwer zugänglich und entsprechend schwierig 
zu warten und zu bedienen. Gemäß der Erfindung werden 
jedoch diese Nachteile dadurch beseitigt, daß die 
Walzbandanhebevorrichtungen (8) mit Bandabweisern 
(10), Spritzeinrichtungen (11), Ausfahrschienen (12) 
und Walzbandleittischen (13) zu einer Baueinheit 
zusammengefaßt und innerhalb des Walzgerüstes (1) in 
unmittelbarer Nähe des Walzspaltes (9) der 
Arbeitswalzen (2, 3) angeordnet sind. Hierdurch wird 
zum einen ein sehr kompakter, platzsparender Aufbau 
des Walzgerüstes erreicht, zum anderen sind die 
Aggregate auch leicht zugänglich und besonders 
wartungs- und bedienungsfreundlich.
